Ever feel like “I’m good” isn’t a good enough answer anymore? Like every check-in has to sound like a LinkedIn update or a PR statement? In this episode, Donavon unpacks the quiet pressure to make our lives sound better than they are... from family conversations and friendships to how we present ourselves online.

He digs into how generations before us equated presentation with protection, how that mindset trickled down, and what it’s costing us now. Why do we feel like we have to manage versions of ourselves just to keep up appearances? And what would it look like to finally let “good” be good enough?

If you’ve ever caught yourself over-explaining, downplaying, or dressing your life up in extra sentences, this one’s for you.
